PATENT OEEICE.

GLASS VESSEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 746,780, dated December 15, 1903. Application filed January 17, 1903. Serial No. 139,378. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom it may con/eerie:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR J. BENNETT, of Cambridge, in the county of Guernsey and State of Ohio, have invented a new and usefnl Improvement in Glass Vessels, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciication, in which- Figure Al is a side elevation of a jar embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view ofthe same. Fig. 3 is a plan view, and Fig. Li is a perspective view of the stopper.

My invention relates to an improvement in glass jars, bottles, and like vessels; and it consists in a vessel having the shoulders and neck formed in a piece removable from the body of the jar and having an orilice or mouth in the neck for the passage of liquid. This orice may be provided with a suitable stopper.

I will now describe my'invention, so that others skilled in the art may manufacture and use the same.

In the drawings, a represents the body of the bottle, which maybe of any desired shape or form and with or without a handle, and it is preferably provided with a ground-seat b atits upper rim. The neck and shoulder portion c of the bottle is formed in a separate piece having, preferably, a ground-rim d, j adapted to fit tightly in the seatb of the body of the jar. The neck of the shoulder-piece c is provided with an orifice e, adapted to allow the passage of a liquid from the jar. This orice may be closed by the glass or metal cap f.

In use this bottle iseasily filled without the use of a funnel when the shoulder-piece is removed. By replacing the shoulder-piece the vessel is restored to its bottle shape, and the liquid may be poured from the neck-orice e, as in the case of other bottles. By forming the seat b witha flaring edge or lip the liquid may be poured from the body of the vessel when the shoulder portion c is re moved. In such case the shoulder portion c may be inverted and serve as a funnel in tilling bottles and small-mouthed vessels.

The advantages of my invention will be appreciated by those skilled in the art.

What I claim,fan'd desire to secure Vby Letters Patent, is-

A glass vessel having a body portion provided with a continuous outwardly-daring upper edge, and a shoulder portion adapted to t tightly against said flaring edge and separable from the body portion, the shoulder portion being provided at its top with an oriflcefor the passage of liquid.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand. s
